Second, I'm congratulating Blu & Vail for being their bad-assey selves for over 10 years. Their story never gets old to me. Blu was my first character ever back in 6th grade. Since then she has evolved into the brash, off-at-the-mouth, talking-to-herself lady she is today. She met Vail in the late 90's on the ARPG and they have been trying to kill each other ever since. Their story has been re-told several times and is finally chronicled in a YA action-adventure called Skeptics + Innocents, which is sitting in my computer waiting for editing attention.

For their anniversary, I sent them to the beach. Vail plans to kick ass at volleyball, and Blu is going to get drunk on bloody marys.

As you can see, Blu and Vail want you to spend as much time outside as possible. While you're still alive.

Memories =) Vail is still the best character I've ever created, if only because I let him take on a life of his own. Even without having written for him in many years, I still feel like I know really well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking such good care of him, and here's to ten years!
